For the rolls, slice two eggplants lengthwise into strips about ⅛ inch (2 mm) thick.
Step 3:

Lay the eggplant slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush them with 4 tablespoons of olive oil.
Step 4:

Season the oiled slices with salt and a blend of red and black pepper to taste, then bake in an oven preheated to 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes.
Step 5:

Set a skillet over high heat and add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, then add one finely chopped onion and fry, stirring, over high heat.
Step 6:

Add one finely diced tomato to the onion and keep frying the vegetables, stirring.
Step 7:

Add 2 cloves of garlic pressed through a garlic press, salt to taste, and ½ teaspoon of khmeli-suneli (a Georgian herb blend), and keep frying the vegetables for another 2 minutes.
Step 8:

Add 300 g (about 10 oz) of mixed ground meat to the skillet and fry for 10 minutes, stirring it together with the vegetables now and then.
Step 9:

Add 150 g (about ¾ cup) of cooked rice to the skillet and mix everything together well.
Step 10:

Using a fine grater, grate 40 g (about ⅓ cup) of hard cheese, then add half of it to the skillet.
Step 11:

Add finely chopped parsley and dill to taste, along with a blend of red and black pepper.
Step 12:

Mix everything in the skillet together well, then turn off the heat and let the filling cool a little.

Spoon the right amount of filling onto each baked eggplant slice, one at a time.
Step 14:

Carefully roll up each filled slice into a tight roll.
